I've used fitnessjournal.org until I discovered runningahead.com and switched immediately. However, they had a feature called Event Manager, which allowed us to manage our races. It was pretty neat and wish something similiar would be offered at runningahead.com.
I've posted a few screenshots of that feature to give you a better idea of what I mean. Find it at

How does this differ from the RA running log?

The running log I see as things I've done. However, with an Event Manager I can see the past and the future. When I logged into my fitnessjournal.org account today I saw those messages within my homepage:
My Future Events:
16 Days To Orange County Marathon
30 Days To Carlsbad Marathon
78 Days To Way Too Cool 50K
91 Days To Coyote Two Moon 100M
128 Days To Big Sur Marathon
Like that I can use that tool to plan and manage all my future runs. With the RA running log that wouldn't be possible unless I am not seeing something. If that's the case then please clarify.

You can future date a log entry. Some folks use that for their plans, then edit the entry once the actual day/run happens... |

To add to what jlynnbob said, then you can use the search function and search for the run type "race" and it will bring up all your races.

Just to add, I like using a calender. I like ultra's list of events, but our calender here feels useless.
I wish we could type into or edit our calender here.
For instance, you can choose Jan. '08 in our calender now. It's blank. If we could type in our future race dates that would be sweet.
Even better than a list, I think. My 2¢. |

Thanks folks for all those replies.
I think it does work with the RA running log. Simply go and enter a future race into the log. Once that run has been done go back and enter the numbers.
Easy enough. And it should work like a charm. Why clutter the service, right?
Darn, it's so difficult to find a flaw at RA! I can only repeat it over and over: AWESOME JOB ERIC!!! |

How it works now is that you can put in a "new event entry" and type whatever text you need to in there. So if you have a race on Jan 16, you'd enter in a new "event" for that race. It's a little cumbersome, but it does work... |

Thanks Wingz!!! That is perfect; I didn't know we could do that. Now that's what I'm talking about!  |

Searching for previous posts on this before I started a new one. This one fits well enough 
I want to be able to add events from the calendar view. Maybe click on the day to add to that day? Right now I plan all future runs (and races) by entering them using the "new run entry" or "new event entry". That works but it is a bit of a pain when I am planning out a chedule that spans several months. I keep having to switch to the calendar view to ensure I got everything correct.
The sight is awesome eric, and I appreciate everything you've done!

| for what it's worth, I just use a google calendar to plan my runs, and log them on RA. |
